I try to watch the move annually!
This time with my girlfriend for the first time!
Why? Don't know how else to break up with her? Stress to her during the movie how much you like the Natalie Portman torture scenes.
Lol wut?
Are you implying that the movie is terrible?
Obviously because I enjoy the movie and because I want to share my annual watching ritual with her 😂

I don't like or dislike those scenes any more or less than the rest of the movie. When concerning the movie's plot - the torture you mentioned has a function that builds the character further in a certain direction. It also determines what will happen next. Just like what any other scene would do.
I also point out just in case that I don't approve torture.
Yeah, the movie kinda is.
Cool mask though.
I always struggle with this. Everyone has a right to their opinion, and i accept that for you, the movie is bad. But when a vast majority of people say it's good, including average joe as well as experts, enthusiasts, and critics. you have to get to a point where you realise you are the only one in the room who disagrees, and maybe you are wrong, and perhaps you are missing what makes it good.
But yeah, its up to you. You dont have to like something just because everyone else does. It just blows my mind a little.
What doesn't work out in the movie?
